SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 314,333, dated March24, 1885'.

Application tiled February 14, 1884. (No model.)

To a/ZZ wlw/m, it may concern,.-

Be it known that l, ANDREW HELLEE, of the city, county and State of NewYork, have invented a new and Improved Combined Detachable Pocket andCap, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description'.

The object of my invention is to provide a new andimproved combineddetachable pocket for coats, which pocket can be detached readily andused as a cap.

The invention consists in the combination, with a coat, of a detachablepocket held on the same, which pocket can be worn as a cap.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part ofthis specification, in which similar letters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 represents a person wearing a coat provided with :my improvedcombined detachable pocket and cap. Fig. 2 is an enlarged horizontalsectional view of the pocket and coat on the line yy, Fig. 3. Fig. 3 isan enlarged vertical sectional view on the line x x, Fig. 1.

A pocket, A, has the side A resting against the inner surface of thecoat B, and made shorter than the opposite side, A2, of the pocket.

To the inner surface of the coat B a piece of fabric, C, is sewed, whichis provided with a slot coinciding with the pocket-slot D. The edges ofthe slot in the piece C are sewed to the coat at the edges of the slotD, and the upper edge of the piece C is sewed to the coat. The loweredge of the piece G is not sewed to the coat?, but forms adownwardlyprojecting tongue, F, on the inner side of the coat.

A series of buttons, G, \is secured to that side of the tongue F facingthe inner side of the coat, and a series of buttons, H, is sewed to theouter surface of the piece C.

The sides A AfZ of the pocket are provided at their upper edges withbutton-holes for receiving the buttons G and H, respectively.

Cords K are passed through the upper corners of the pocket for thepurpose of draw` ing the sides of the pocket together at the uppercorners when the pocket is held on the coat, or for holding the cap onthe head.

When the pocket is secured ou the coat, the

tongue F projects into the top of the pocket,

the upper edge of the side A of the pocket being held to the inner sideof the tongue F by the buttons G, and the upper edge of the side A2being held to the piece C by the buttons H. rlhe side A2 is folded toform the ends of the pocket, as shown in Fig 2.

The pocket can readily be detached and can then be worn as a cap, thelong'side A`Z cover ing the back of the head.

The cords K are untied before placing the cap on the head, to permit themouth of the cap being opened sufficiently to pass the cap on the head.

The above-described pocket can be combined with any coat, and is veryhandy for travelers, soldiers, irenien, and others.

Having thus described my invention, l claim as new and desireto secureby Letters Patentl. The herein-described pocket A, having the sides AA2, the side A being shorter than the side A2, and each provided withbuttonholes in its upper edge for attaching the saine to a coat aboveand below a pocket-slit, and provided with the strings K, passed throughthe upper corners for drawing the sides together, substantially asherein shown and described.
